RISK SOCIETY, NATION STATES AND IMMIGRANTS: MEDIA AND RISKS UNDER GLOBALISATION CONDITIONS

This study analyses the opposition of globalisation and nationalism (and/or localism) exclusively within the scope of international migration problem. Within the first decade of the 21st century, the rapidly increasing oppositions between supranational economic and political structures have become decisive forces in society and politics. The ideals based on Enlightenment, universalistic discourses, those shaping the course of globalisation, have been confronted by nationalist political movements trying to preserve their identity. This encounter has the potential to become a major catalyst as the source of political and social problems in the 21st century. International migration has increased due to globalisation, so triggering risks and conflicts, while it has caused a strengthening of radical nationalist movements defining themselves in terms of other identities.
